Midfielder Xabi Alonso feels that every La Liga fixture
is now a must-win game if Real Madrid are to win the title.
Real's championship challenge has suffered two setbacks
in the space of a few days, after they went down 4-3 against Barcelona in
Sunday's El Clasico before a 2-1 defeat against Sevilla on Wednesday.
That leaves them third in the table - two points off
Barca and three away from leaders Atletico.
And if Real are to clinch the title, Alonso says that they
cannot afford anymore slip-ups.
"The margin of error is minimal. We must win all our
remaining games," he said.
"We wanted to forget (the Barcelona defeat) and come
here (to Sevilla) and win but sometimes we haven't been on at our best level.
"Our last two games have been negatives and little
else. We have had many chances but it wasn’t to be. We still have to
believe."
Real can bounce back on Saturday at the Bernabeu when
they face Rayo Vallecano.
